A little snippet I heard on the radio got me curious about the starting salaries for pharmacists. A college administrator was saying pharmacists with a B.A. often start at $90,000 right after graduating. Whaaa? Really? That is damn good money.

So I go looking here and here and although the figures aren't quite that high, they are still quite respectable: about $71,000. Base pay has gone up $12,500 in the last two years due to a shortage of pharmacists that will probably get worse. Man, I missed the boat on this one. Tell me again why I wanted to be a writer? Must have been the fame 'cause it sure ain't the fortune.
